One of the ways Bluetooth technology may become useful is in Voice over IP (VOIP). When Voice over IP becomes more widespread, companies may find it unnecessary to employ telephones physically similar to today's analogue telephone hardware. Bluetooth may then end up being used for communication between a cordless phone and a computer listening for Voice over IP and with an infrared Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card acting as a base for the cordless phone. The cordless phone would then just require a cradle for charging. Bluetooth would naturally be used to allow the cordless phone to remain operational for a reasonably long period.

In May 2005, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced its intent to work with UWB manufacturers to develop a next-generation Bluetooth technology using UWB technology and delivering UWB speeds. This will enable Bluetooth technology to be used to deliver high speed network data exchange rates required for wireless VOIP, music and video applications.

Bluetooth may also be used for remote sales technology, allowing wireless access to vending machines and other commercial enterprises.
